1.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea, but the book didn't quite pay for itself, August 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: College Scholarships and Financial Aid (Paperback)

This book had quite a number of scholarships listed, but some of them were of no use to 99.9% of the population of college students. If I was interested in attending Generic College, USA, and I wanted to know what scholarships they offered, I would go to that college and ask them. I wouldn't look it up in a general college scholarship book. Thus it was frustrating when college-specific scholarships were listed for some schools, but not all. Some of the listings were outdated, and I felt like I had to read through the whole book to make sure I didn't miss any scholarships I was eligible for. I sent out about ten letters to different scholarship opportunities, and not all of them were responded to, and of those that replied and to whom I submitted applications to, no money was won. Thus I was not very happy with my purchase.

Did you notice that Jennifer Smith has written reviews for several of the scholarship books at amazon. Apparently she is a fake. She probably works for amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scholarship abilities, July 5, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: College Scholarships and Financial Aid (Paperback)

I bought this book hoping it would be really succesful in helping to find several scholarships that would help me to find some money for college. I was very suprised how easy it was and how much money I earned. I got the book payed for at least 100 times in my first scholarship. I am very thankful for this book and I think the author should be highly praised. Jennifer Smith
